Jacob's Garden

Hello my name is Lourdes Rodriguez and I live with my mom in the city. I don’t have friends that I talk to on a daily basis. I just keep to myself and observe others during lunch time. My mom works long hours while I sit at home bored, lonely and depressed. If I could have just one good friend to talk to that would be my wish. I don’t get bullied, nor do I get teased. Well sometimes teased but it’s not as bad as the other kids. When some of the other kids decide to mess with me I just give them the look to not to mess with me and they sca-daddle on about their way and from there on it’s all good.

Well right now I’m at lunch eating the same food they served yesterday because they had plenty of leftovers. Pizza. Don’t get me wrong, I love pizza, but pizza for two whole straight weeks gets old. Why can’t they serve us a different type of pizza or something else? There’s salad and/or a pb and j sandwitch but I don’t want either of those things so I just stick to the same ole greasy pepporoni pizza. After lunch it was time for my chemistry class. We were learning about chemistry stuff when there was a knock on the door and my teacher Mr. Roden had opened it and in came a new student who looked really attractive. He had a thick head of hair standing tall above his head, a nice yummy caramel complexion, some glasses with thick black rims around the lenses, a black nirvana shirt, navy blue jeans, and white reeboks. He wore a dark green backpack, and carried a customized composition notebook with stickers all over it. I wonder what his name was.

Mr. Roden: EXCUSE ME CLASS, MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE? We have a new student that will be joining us for the rest of the semester. His name is Jacob Perez. Everyone say Hello Jacob Perez.

Class: HELLO JACOB PEREZ!!!

Jacob: *waves shyly* Hello everyone and thank you all for welcoming me to your chemistry class.

Mr. Roden: Well, it’s great to have you Mr. Perez. Please have a seat wherever you like.

Jacob: Ok *walks off*

Currently, there were no seats available for Jacob to sit next to me so he sat across the room over by the window as Mr. Roden filled in Jacob and we resumed where the rest of the class left off.

{after school}

It was after school and time for me to go home. I ride a bike to school as I went to the front of the school to retrieve it. I saw that Jacob kid coming down the steps as he was talking to this girl, laughing and giggling. He was really cute and I wanted to stare at him all day, but that girl was in the way and I forgot I had to go get my bike so I walked away from the bushes and onto the sidewalk where Jacob and the girl were about to walk onto. I wasn’t watching where I was going an I accidently bumped into Jacob as he was caught off guard and helped me up.

Jacob: Are you ok?

Me: *dusts self off* Yea I’m fine.

Girl: Are you hurt?

Me: Me? Nah. I’m good.

Jacob: Ok well it’s nice to see that you are ok and all—

Girl: Hey Jacob I have to get going soon. My papa wants me home early pronto.

Jacob: Oh ok. Is he picking you up or???

Girl: No my older brother is. Which should be any minute now.

Jacob: Oh ok.

A white oldsmobile 1999 pulls up to the school and honks the horn 2x.

Boy: HEY YO CINDY! POPS WILL BE HOME IN 10 MINS. YOU BETTER HURRY OR YOU’LL BE IN TROUBLE!

Cindy: Well, that’s my ride. See you later Jacob and bye girl who’s name I don’t know. *runs off*

Jacob: *shouts* BYE CINDY!!!! SEE YOU TOMMOROW!!!
